Okay mommas I need help. I'm getting worried for my son he's 2 weeks and 1 day old and lately he's been coughing and gagging and throwing up. Is this normal?!?!?!?!?! I'm a first time mom and this is all new to me

Take him to his pedi

Be sure to use his bulb syringe to suction out the vomit so he doesn't gag on it. My son does this too so I always have the bulb on hand. Is he doing this after a feeding? He could be taking in too much at once. My son gags on my milk all the time while nursing. I have to pull him up and pat his back. He does spit up and sometimes vomits. Does he seem lethargic or acting less aware?

@mom211n11 he's not acting less aware at all he seems fine. It's only when he's starts gagging then spits up alot that worries me. He does it usually after a feeding

He might just be drinking too fast as well.

I had to pace feed my last. Feed for a few minutes then burp and reposition and repeat. Only lasted a few weeks

Yes mine is having the same issues. Mine was just at his Ped for a check up and he has a stomach big. Watch for curdled milk and watery poop. There is stomach bugs going around. If it's not any of that, nurse for 5-10 minutes then burp then put back on breast. Or you can pull baby off a few minutes after let down and burp him.
